Gridded historical Okanagan downscaled climate data

Description:

A 300 arc second (~10 km) historical ANUSPLIN dataset for 1951-2010 (McKenney et al., 2011) was spatially-disaggregated to 500m using a local lapse rate upsampling algorithm (Wang et al., 2006) and then bias corrected so that climatological monthly means matched the Pacific Climate Impact Consortium PRISM climatology http://www.pacificclimate.org/data/high-resolution-prism-climatology.
